Toxic sunscreen is no bueno and it’s hurting you!

... Read moreChemical sunscreens often contain harmful ingredients that not only irritate the skin but can also negatively impact marine life and contribute to environmental pollution. Toxic chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate can seep into the ocean and harm coral reefs. By opting for mineral sunscreens, such as those with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, you can protect your skin from UV rays without compromising your health or the environment. These sustainable options are biodegradable and safe for aquatic ecosystems. This summer, consider brands that prioritize organic and eco-friendly formulations to ensure your skincare routine aligns with your values of sustainable living. Additionally, pay attention to ingredient labels and seek products that are free from harmful additives. Your skin, and the planet, will thank you for making the switch!

Sunscreen of the Summer?!
I have been obsessing over this sunscreen since I tried it. While it is only spf 30, I love the feel & know I will need to reapply anyway. What's your favorite sunscreen? BTW, you can use ABBI20 to save 20%! #skincare #summer #glowyskin #lemon8beauty #sunscreen 🧴☀️ #sunscreen

A hand holds a white and gold tube of Arbonne FunSun Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 against a sheer white curtain. The image features an overlay text that reads 'Summertime Toxic Free Sunscreen,' highlighting the product's clean formulation for sun protection.
Toxic Free Sunscreen
Glowing skin without the questionable ingredients ☀️🌿 What I love about Arbonne sunscreen? It’s made with mineral-based SPF (like zinc oxide), so it sits on top of your skin instead of absorbing in—aka a cleaner, more skin-friendly way to protect. No harsh chemicals, no oxybenzone, no paraben
